Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Tastorio uses cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage and device identifiers. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember information, keep you logged in, improve performance, measure usage and support advertising or affiliate tracking.

Cookies we use

Tastorio may use the following categories of cookies:

Essential cookies

These are required for the website to work. They may be used for login sessions, security, CSRF protection, load balancing, language preference, consent status and basic site functionality. Essential cookies cannot be disabled through the site because the website may not function without them.

Preference cookies

These remember choices such as language, display preferences, saved interface settings or cookie choices so the site feels more consistent when you return.

Analytics cookies

These help measure traffic, page views, popular recipes, search terms, performance problems and user behavior in aggregate. Analytics may be disabled or delayed until you consent where required by law.

Advertising cookies

If advertising is enabled, ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver ads, measure impressions and clicks, limit frequency, prevent fraud and personalize ads where permitted. Advertising cookies may be set by third-party ad networks and are governed by their own policies.

Affiliate and tracking cookies

If affiliate links or sponsored offers are enabled, cookies or tracking parameters may be used to record referrals, purchases, leads or commissions.

Consent

Where legally required, Tastorio asks for consent before loading non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through the cookie banner.

You can reopen cookie preferences from the footer when the banner is enabled. If you clear browser storage or use another device, you may need to choose again.

How to control cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

use the cookie banner or Cookie preferences link on Tastorio;
block or delete cookies in your browser settings;
use browser privacy tools, tracking protection or extensions;
use ad partner controls where available.

Blocking cookies may affect login, saved recipes, language preference, comments, analytics, ads and other site features.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used for analytics, ads, social features, embedded content, security, email or affiliate tracking. We do not control every cookie set by third parties. Review their privacy and cookie policies for more information.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no single accepted standard for these signals, Tastorio may not respond to them automatically. You can still manage cookies through the banner and browser settings.

Cookie retention

Cookie lifetimes vary. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Consent and preference cookies may be stored longer so the site remembers your choices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when cookies, third-party tools or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
